Senior Analytics Engineer

Rocket Money’s mission is to empower people to live their best financial lives. Rocket Money offers members a unique understanding of their finances and a suite of valuable services that save them time and money – ultimately giving them a leg up on their financial journey.

The analytics stack we have built has helped grow Rocket Money to over two million paying members. While we continue to rely on these tools, we've seen increasing headwinds that come with scale. Bigger and more complex queries, multiple joins across projects, and generally the challenges of having over 100 daily consumers pushing our analytics stack for answers. We've invested in building an Analytics Engineering team to create structure and good foundational patterns in our analytics stack that will allow us to scale in data volume, builders, and consumers, but we recognize there is more to do.

You'll get a chance to write code and collaborate with colleagues across the company to ship scalable, reliable, and observable systems that everyone can build upon and leverage.
